Another take on Roasted Potato Wedges

July 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I love fries! Actually, I can’t recall any of my acquaintances that don’t eat fries. Now, that I’m starting to find the motivation to starting to lose those proverbial “last 10 pounds” the plan is to avoid fry foods and it healthier.

The one option that we always do at home is roasted potato wedges. These are easy to prepare, I’m not afraid anymore of getting burn by oil splatter and better for our diet. There are plenty of herb combinations that you can use when preparing these … from paprika, chili powder to italian seasonings. Yes, although the possibilities are almost endless here is a great basic recipe to start this delicious dish.

By the way, did you know that today is National French Fries Day!

Smoked Salmon Scramble on English Muffins

May 9, 2011 By 6 Comments

Today, I decided to hop on the bath scale… what a bad mistake. Lately, I’ve been spending countless hours to take my blogging to the next level. That loosely translate to, I stopped exercising and eating clean to spend time on the computer. Well, it’s time to get a handle on life and make an effort to eat better and exercise more. I’m not getting any younger so it’s time to make some lifetime changes.

This is the first change for breakfast or light lunch. It’s packed full of protein and balanced with the whole wheat english muffin.

Enjoy!
